Detective Beckett
is initially infuriated at the thought of working with a writer and
goes to great lengths to keep him out of her way. However, the two soon
start developing feelings for each other. The overarching plot of the
series focused on the romance between the two lead characters and their
ongoing investigation of the murder of Beckett's mother.
Richard Castle is a famous mystery novelist.
Bored and suffering from writer's block, he kills off Derrick Storm,
the main character in his successful book series. He is brought in by
the New York Police Department for questioning regarding a copycat murder based on one of his novels, where he meets and becomes intrigued by Kate Beckett, the detective assigned to the case.
Castle is inspired to take Beckett
as his muse for Nikki Heat, the main character of his next book series
and uses his friendship with the mayor to force the police to let him
shadow Beckett.
Castle's exuberant man child personality clashes with Beckett's more reserved and professional demeanor. However, as Beckett begins to appreciate Castle'sassistance in helping her catch killers, the two eventually become friends and then lovers.
Their
cases often deal with murders occurring within various unusual
subcultures or milieus, including reality TV shows, vampire enthusiasts,
a science fiction convention, and a man who claims to be a time
traveler.
A recurring plot line deals with the unsolved murder of Beckett's mother years before, an investigation which leads to an increasingly sprawling, and dangerous, conspiracy.
The series also focuses on the backstories of supporting characters like Detective Javier Esposito, Detective Kevin Ryan, Medical Examiner Lanie Parish, Captain Roy Montgomery and Captain Victoria Gates, through multiple episodes.
Today, The Grandma has visited Richard Castle and Kate Beckett, two old friends of her who live in Manhattan.

An incredible and insufferable heat wave is affecting Central and Mediterranean Europe. Barcelona is under this terrible effect.
TheGrandma is an old person and she must prevent high temperatures to keep her health in good conditions.
Today, The Grandma has decided to stay at home and avoid high temperatures. She has connected the air conditioning and she is reading an interesting novel written by RichardCastle and titled Heat Wave.
Richard Edgar Rick Castle, born Richard Alexander Rodgers, is a fictional character on the ABC crime series Castle.
The name Richard Castle is also used as a pseudonym under which a set of real books about the characters Derrick Storm and Nikki Heat, based on the books mentioned in the television series, are written. These books have achieved success, becoming New York Times bestsellers.
Actor Nathan Fillion appears as the face of Richard Castle on the books and on the official website, and participates in book signings. The Castle book series was actually written/ghost-written by screenwriter Tom Straw.
According to Fillion, the character's name Rick Castle was noted by the show creator as sounding like Rich Asshole and says that this reflects his character. He describes Castle as being a bit of a douche with a Peter Pan syndrome stemming from a lack of a real male adult role model in his life.
Andrew Marlowe explained that he designed Castle'scharacter as one that presents a storytelling point of view as a counterpoint to Beckett's evidence-based police work.
Castle Cast
Oncasting Fillion to fill the role, Marlowe described Castle as the right vehicle for the right personality.
Castle is the father of Alexis Castle and the son of Martha Rodgers,both of whom live with him. His father is a CIA operative who has used the aliases Jackson Hunt and Anderson Cross".Castle's birth name is RichardAlexanderRodgers; he uses RichardEdgarCastle as his nom de plume, Edgar in honor of Edgar Allan Poe, though he still considers Alexander his middle name.
Fillion describes the family dynamic as unconventional because Castle is very much mothered by his 15-year-old daughter, and at the same time he turns around and mothers his own mother.
As a child, he never knew who his father was. He reasoned that he never missed having a father as he never had anything to miss, and it allowed him to imagine that his father could be anyone he wished. He was looked after by a nanny who spent most of her time watching daytime television.
One Life to Live was the inspiration to write his first novel. He was further inspired to become a writer when a man, later revealed to be the father he never knew, handed him a copy of Ian Fleming's Casino Royale at the New York Public Library when he was ten years old.
He also claims to have been kicked out of all of New York's finer academic institutions at least once, and to have picked up speed reading while spending his days as a child in the New York Public Library.
Heat Wave is the first in a series of mystery novels featuring the characters Nikki Heat, an NYPD homicide detective, and Jameson Rook, a journalist.
